My copy has the same cover of Stevie's one. This has probably to do that they are both R2 dvds from the UK, while R1 dvds will have the cover showed on the site that you found, Gerdie. :dunno

I haven't seen this mentioned before. For those who haven't got their hands on the DVD yet and can't wait to see AG again, the whole film has been put up on YouTube. http://youtube.com/watch?v=uS8X6DkZzGc&mode=user&search=

Ok so since I've been away for awhile - did this come to DVD in the States already??

Gaffer'sGirl- 10-18-2007

I don't think so Gnat. It still says November 13th, on the Amazing Grace site. I was thinking the 4th, but figured I better check. Wish it was the 4th.

GNAT0629- 10-23-2007

Oh ok - thanks! I guess it was released in the UK already then???

Gaffer'sGirl- 10-26-2007

Yeah, they got it first this time and we have to wait.

Bummer - same thing will be for the 5th Harry Potter. They're getting it a whole month before we do here in the States.

Thanks for the information. I simply adore Amazing Grace...my intro to Ioan. So many great actors in AG. Great casting! I also became an instant fan of Rufus Sewell. Benedict Cumberbatch is wonderful in his role. And the butler, just love his scenes with William Wilberforce. http://ilovemylifebrothersandsisters.blogspot.com/

Casting the Fantastic Four's Ioad Gruffudd as Wilberforce was a smart move. Since he's more or less unknown to American's unless he's standing next to Jessica Alba looking perplexed, he's allowed to get lost in the role, returning to his native tongue and delivering a finely nuanced, incredibly heartfelt performance. Wilberforce was riddled with colitis for most of his life, and Grufford never lets us forget about the British philanthropist's suffering. Even in happier times, the viewer gets the distinct impression that our hero could keel over at any moment (and he frequently does). But there's another level to Grufford's performance, something we don't usually see in such politically oriented films. Wilberforce is committed to his cause, and we can literally read that dedication across every facet of the actor's face. He never lets us forget he's 100% behind the abolition of slavery - no ifs, ands, or buts. Supplemented by superb turns from Rufus Sewell, Toby Jones, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Gambon, and Albert Finney, there is never a mislaid moment here. Amazing Grace crackles with the kind of artistic chops that provide untold emotional pleasures. Even in the most villainous 'us vs. them' moments, the cast creates intrigue and insight. http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/review.php?ID=31236

Since he's more or less unknown to American's unless he's standing next to Jessica Alba looking perplexed, ... http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/review.php?ID=31236 :lol: Ouch! that's gotta hurt, especially if you have such a strong desire to be an A list actor... :happy Other than that I can only agree that Ioan is very good in Amazing Grace. Saw it again two days ago and it still moves me. Thanks Annee.

I also agree that Ioan's performance in AG is outstanding.

Ah, the illusive "A-list"! I DO wish that Mr. I could receive the actor's merit that he is due------and this film is one that could do it for him. Hurry up, Nov. 13th!!!

Ah, the illusive "A-list"! I DO wish that Mr. I could receive the actor's merit that he is due------and this film is one that could do it for him. Ah, the "A-list" eludes most actors. If we think of all the people who chose acting as their profession, very few make it to the so-called A-list. Anyway, I do wish, too, that Ioan could receive the recognition as an actor that he is due and think AG could do it for him.
